                                  COMMENTARY

  The creation does contain within itself some form of knowledge as to the existence of God; but it does -Not- contain or partake of that which is of His essence. Tho it "displays" His eternal power it is not itself eternal! Otherwise we would then have a form  of pantheism which would involve God in Change! God, as to His essence is totally exhaustive in and of Himself within the confines of His nature and the Trinity. That means He never changes. Therefore, as an UNcreated being... nothing that is created by Him can possibly share in His nature or essence. Further, the creation does -Not- reveal His moral goodness or righteousness. Specifically this passage tells us it is the Wrath of God that is revealed in creation! His moral goodness is revealed in the Gospel; vs 17.
